About that Holder rationale for trying KSM in New York...

Clarice Feldman "As he told us last Friday, Eric Holder wants to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in civilian courts because he (mostly) attacked civilians, while the attackers of the USS Cole will be sent to a military tribunal. The Dallas Morning News explained:".... "And if the next batch of terrorists are clever enough to attack an elementary school will they be tried in juvenile court?" The real reason we're trying terrorists in civilian courts "...They may be "heinous criminals, terrorists" but basically they're criminals who have "to be treated. . .with great. . .sensitivity to the crimes they've committed against America.""

Lloyd Marcus: Top Ten Reasons Black America Fears Rush Limbaugh

American Thinker "I am a black man who, since 1993, has been a regular listener of the Rush Limbaugh radio program. I must caution black America. Be afraid, be very afraid of this powerful white man. Regular listening to him could be devastating to the psyche of the 96% of black Americans who voted for Obama. I have compiled the following Top Ten list of reasons why."

The diplomacy of deference

Politico "But White House aides say the approach is deliberate — part of Obama’s determination to deliver on his campaign promise of directly engaging friends and enemies alike, giving America a less belligerent posture abroad." So O isn't an ignoramus but is doing penance around the world for all of us. Why Does Obama Keep Bowing? "President Obama’s silent bow is yet another way of apologizing for America’s misperceived arrogance and superiority. He has found yet another way to pander and apologize without ever uttering a single word."....When the president bows to heads of state, various representatives of foreign governments or any other “leader” he sends a message that America is weak and subservient.

Trial and Terror; The Left gets its reckoning.

By Andrew C. McCarthy "Obama and Holder have needlessly created a perilous dilemma. Do we deny KSM & Co. the right to represent themselves and thus risk reversal of any convictions on Sixth Amendment grounds? Do we grant them self-representation but withhold critical discovery and thus risk reversal on due process grounds? Or do we grant them self-representation and disclose directly to our wartime enemies the nation’s security secrets, which they can then pass on to confederates who are actively targeting us for mass-murder attacks?"

The new wave of female firebrands striking fear into liberal America

UK Guardian "Right-wing radicals* are already pinning presidential ambitions on a mother-of-five from Minnesota who calls herself a 'fool for Christ' and condemns Obama as a socialist at the head of a gangster regime." *Their words, not mine.

Role of ACLU Decisive in Moving KSM Trial to New York

Pajamas Media  "Can you imagine if the case of the mastermind of 9/11 was dismissed? If this happens, make sure to thank the ACLU. They were the culprits behind closed doors working to make this a reality. The blood of innocents murdered in the future by those aspiring Islamist killers who will become emboldened by our manifest lack of will and strength will be on their hands.  A massive public outcry needs to take place — and this dangerous agenda being pushed on the country needs to be reversed."

Bowing to ‘World Opinion’/ Secrecy in warfare is a matter of life and death.

By Thomas Sowell    "How many Americans may pay with their lives for the intelligence secrets and methods that can be forced to be disclosed to al-Qaeda was not mentioned. Nor was there mention of how many foreign nations and individuals whose cooperation with us in the War on Terror have been involved in countering al-Qaeda — nor how many foreign nations and individuals will have to think twice now, before cooperating with us again, when their role can be revealed in court to our enemies, who can exact revenge on them."...."As a private citizen, Barack Obama has a right to make as big a jackass of himself as he wants to. But, as president of the United States, his actions not only denigrate a nation that other nations rely on for survival, but raise questions about how reliable our judgment and resolve are — which in turn raises questions about whether those nations will consider themselves better off to make the best deal they can with our enemies."

KSM TRIAL WATCH BEGINS

Boortz  "Oh ... by the way. You do know that KSL was never read his Miranda Rights, don't you? How much evidence is going to be thrown out because this Islamic murderer didn't have his right to counsel when he was first captured?"

WORSE THAN I IMAGINED

Boortz  "Maybe I'm just dreaming of a country where voters have to exhibit a modicum of intelligence before they're allowed to cast votes. And don't give me that "right to vote" nonsense. The right doesn't exist in federal elections. Someday, when the final history of our Republic is written, we're going to understand the long-term consequences of opening the polls to people without a clue."
